Baby cried the day the
Circus came to town
'cause she didn't want
Parades just passin' by her
So she painted on a smile
And took up with some clown
While she danced without
A net upon the wire
I know a lot about 'er
'cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like
Me
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside,
Learn how to hide your
Feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost had it
All
Baby saw that when they
Pulled that big top down
They left behind her
Dreams among the litter
The different kind of
Love she thought she'd
Found
There was nothin' left
But sawdust and some
Glitter
But baby can't be broken
'cause you see
She had the finest
Teacher-that was me-i told
'er
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and
Learn how to hide your
Feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost had it
All
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and
Learn how to hide your
Feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost made it
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and
Learn how to hide your
Feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost had it
